The new public dialogue was commissioned by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and the Nuffield Council on Bioethics, with support from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI)’s Sciencewise programme.
Participants in the dialogue discussed the potential benefits and concerns around the use of genome editing to address some major challenges within our food and farming system, such as animal diseases, environmental impacts and food security.
